Mark was a much beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend.
He passed from this life on the last day of January 2015, just four weeks shy of his 70th birthday. His family is greatly saddened by his passing but we are enlivened and comforted by the joy and happiness that he brought to us and by the memory of his beautiful life.
My dad was a loving, kind, honorable and gracious man. He touched the lives of many people in a positive, harmonious way. Mark had a beautiful outlook on life and his strong, positive energy was easy and fun to be around. The outpouring of admiration, love and respect from his many friends and acquaintances has been an amazing and humbling experience.
This brief note is just the beginning of the tale about the life of a wonderful man.
We hope to add many photos, videos and stories about Mark and his adventures.
Thank you to everyone that ever knew, and/or loved Mark Manning.
You are part of his family, here.
We welcome your photos and rememberances of him as well as any notes or treasured times you would like to share.
Rest in Peace, dear friend. ON...SAIL ON!

He gave me a copy of his recent book Finding a Job is Good; Finding 86 of Them is Just Nuts! It was interesting (& clever, funny & serious) how he worked so hard all his life & it seemed it was so easy for him to find a different job when he was tired of the one he had or he needed to make a change. He had his first job at age 12. Every job seemed to be one more way he was learning & being challenged (& paying the bills!). When Mark & Phyllis met me & my daughter & her husband for dinner while in CA last summer, he said he thought of a few more after he wrote the book!
Though most of us have drifted apart over the years, the friendships still feel special to me, as was Mark's friendship. So many years have gone by but it seems the memories are still there with all the fun times we have had with one another.
I look forward to seeing Mark again one of these days!
Dad would have turned seventy years old today.
We are remembering him with much love and fond memories.
Maybe have a nip of scotch, a bit of golf, some tasty mexican food and family game night...just a few of his favorite things.
We love you and miss you Dad.
My brother was an English nut to the end. He was always correcting my speech. I finally told him I wasn't as smart as some of my brothers, so leave me alone, and he did! I loved him so much and will always miss him. No goodbyes Mark. -- Your sister Suzie
Mark, I love you!!!
Thank you for all of your Love, Knowledge, Joy and Lessons.
Enjoy all those birdies on that great Golf Course in the sky.
I look forward to seeing you on the 19th hole.

Wonderful Cousin
Mark was such a wonderful person. I will miss him and his jokes forever. We were fortunate to have him stay with us when he was younger and we had a really good time with all his antics.
He was a real comedian. We so enjoyed all his skits. We told him later in life that he should have been a comedian instead of just an actor. Apparently, he never knew how really good he was.
